Default The world is too expensive for Gronroos

I found the rate inside Thailand was better than the quoted rates
elsewhere, something about the Thai bank wanting to help promote
tourism. I was there in October and the expected rate was 32 baht to
the usd at the time while my rate at ATM's was 35.

If you got 35 Baht to the US$ at an ATM machine then that would have
been a rate given *outside* Thailand. The exchange rate on ATM cash
withdrawals is applied by your own bank at home.
